Do you mean to edit $ourFileHandle to fopen($ourFileName, 'wba')?

I think fopen($ourFileName, 'a') will do what you want.

From Alice's code: $ourFileName = "hello.txt"; $ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'wb') or die("can't open file"); So... she is not, in fact, trying to write a file over HTTP. She is reading a file via HTTP and writing something pertaining to it on the local file system. Also, please refrain from top-posting. It makes the posts get very confusing. :( Todd Boyd Web Programmer

Todd, if you look at her initial code posted in the other thread, you will see that she WAS infact trying to write the file to a remote server. The two URLs were www.mysite.com/hello.txt and www.yoursite.com/hello.txt That would have been trying to write the new file of http. so he was right in saying what he said. Not sure where you got the above code snippet, but it is not from what she originally posted to the list. -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
